Hi guys, Hope everyone is well! Is it possible to add a small (dwarf) chilid or a friendly community tank chilid one to my set up? See my current fish below. Would a Discus be too big? I think they're such beautiful fish. It's a standard tropical tank. There's very very little salt in there...

Thanks. So I can keep the actual wool part but I just dump out the carbon (rocks) and can replace it with something else. Thanks

Hi Guys, thanks for your responses, but now I'm getting confused!!! Once a tank has been cycled i.e. amonia and nitrate are nil does that mean that I can replace the filter (from my hang on) which is the wool stuff and the carbon and put in another one? Isn't the whole point of cycling to...

Hi Guys, How often should the filter carbon be changed? If you add a new one do you have to go through the cycling process again or can you add two at once leave it for a while and then take out the old one? Thanks, Anthony

Hi Neale, thanks for you help. I think it would be a good idea for me to buy a good aquarium book.

Just for the mollies... I'm using rock salt.. which is non-iodised.. the fishies seam to like it. I've got to keep salt for the gobies don't I? My temp is about 29 degrees with high airation... should they be OK with no salt? I can do a big water change..

True, but they can survive in brackish water.

Hi guys, Thanks for your help, again!! I got some Danios and Bumblebee Gobies on the weekend! What other brackish fish can I add that won't eat my current fish (see signature)? Thanks, Anthony

Thanks man!

I posted this in tropical chit-chat but I think this might be closer... Hi Guys, I want to add some more colour and life to my tank as I only have Mollies and Platy's. The water is brackish so they would need to survive in that. I was thinking of Chilids, Discus or an Angel Fish but they're...

Will do, thanks mate!

Hi Guys, I want to add some more colour and life to my tank as I only have Mollies and Platy's. The water is brackish so they would need to survive in that. I was thinking of Chilids, Discus or an Angel Fish but they're probably too big for my Livebearers... Has anyone got some suggestions...

Does anyone visit Strictly Aquariums in Sydney? They seam to be well presented and have a great range!

Hi Sara- nice name that's my wifes! Welcome, hope you enjoy your stay. I'm new to the forums and fish too. Hoping to learn more about Italian culture and the range of fish. Anthony

Hey guys, yeah I added 11 teaspoons of salt to the tank the other day. I changed 15% of the water yesterday but didn't add any more salt.. maybe I should.... hmmm Thanks for your help. This forum is excellent!! To be honest, I'm not sure if it's fry from the Platy's or Dalmations.. The...

The only problem is I can't get to the fish shop until the weekend!!!! I'm worried they won't survive... My fatherly instict is kicking in!! :)

I'm in Sydney!!! I'll post a pic soon! Anyone else got pics?

Gues what guys my Dalmation Molly had some babies! I've caught about 7 of them and put them in one of the plastic floating boxes. I'm feeding them crushed flakes twice a day. Is there anything else I should be doing? I know that once they double in size they can roam free! My wife and I almost...

Thanks for your responses guys!!! It's too expensive though isn't it for a full on brackish tank? Would the mollies like a full on brackish tank? Thanks

Thanks guys! Good to see some people from Aus!! So how long have you had tanks?

Hey guys, So the black spot on my Mollies seams to have died down now, added some salt. I've got 2 mollies, 4 platy's and a dalmation mollie. I've only had the tank for 1 month- they seam to be doing well. Amonia and nitrate are zero. It's a four foot tank (53 or so gallons)- any suggestions...

Hi guys, I'm from Sydney and I'm 27 and have only recently started a tropical tank. It's a 4fter holding about 220 litres. I've got two black mollies and one dalmation oreo molly- the other one died! I think she's pregnant and I'm hoping for some little fellas!!! I've just noticed that my...
